The recent NCTS Set-up Shows have been great - the "What If There Was a Chase?" piece at Loudon and today's "Mustache" montage was creative and entertaining.

Unlike others here, I am enjoying listening to the broadcast without Waltrip. Waltrip's style not withstanding, he comes across as somewhat un-informed. His truck series performance in something like six starts - average start 20th and average finish of 19th hardly qualifies him as expert on truck racing. His sponsor bias, which has been toned down, is unacceptable in a series whose teams struggle for media exposure.

There is a radio station website that broadcasts the race live online for free - does anyone know what the link is?

cdhahgI realize this is late, I was not feeling well yesterday or the nite before but there was one problem I had with the broadcast. I could not understand the announcers when I had the track noise turned down to a manageable level. I may be getting hard of hearing as most shows play the music so loud I cannot hear what is being said, but I had no problems with the noise level on the Cup race yesterday, in fact I could hear Aero-Loose Wallace way to well.I also will not loose a minute of sleep if I never hear or see either Walldrip brother again.
